"But I know there is no peace inside Master Wingfield. I know it is only a matter of time before he strikes. It will not be with fists, as we commoners do. I will be with his power, and it will be worse than fists." (p.18)
 
What does the author mean when she writes that the "power" Master Wingfield has is greater than "fists" of a commoner? What does this quote reveal about the class system in England?

She means he is a higher class than a commener, so he will be beleived.

The class system must be this order: commeners, gentalmen, royalty, ect.. So, it is organized so the higher class you are, the more people beleive you.

The author refers to his power as his authority and could simply just hang him.

The class system is royal, commoner, and street rat, so it ranks in authority.

Master Wingfield is at higher class and has more power so he uses the law to accuse Captain Smith.

He says that commoners are weak and that he has more authority over commoners. The higher you are in class,the more respect and power you have.

He can do anything he wants to anybody and everyone will believe him because they are afraid of him.
People who are considered "gentlemen" are treated way better than commoners and can punish commoners any way they want to.

Master Wingfield has the power to say a lie and have everyone think it is the truth.

 Wingfield is powerful enough to lie to people and to make everyone think he is telling the truth, and he uses his strength to attack who ever goes against him.
